ZF Button Micro Switch, Solder Terminal, 100mA 250V AC, SPDT, IP6K7, DC Subminiature DC3C-L1AA

The ZF DC3C-L1AA is a precision button micro switch engineered for reliable control in electrical and automation systems. This micro switch is equipped with solder-type terminals, facilitating strong and secure electrical connections in demanding PCB or wiring applications. The DC3C-L1AA model features a SPDT (Single Pole Double Throw) contact arrangement, making it suitable for switching operations where circuit redundancy or alternative control paths are required.

Built to perform in both commercial and industrial settings, this switch offers a rated switch contact current of 100mA and accommodates voltages up to 250V AC, enabling use in signal switching, instrumentation, and control panels. Thanks to its robust construction from high-grade Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) and Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT), the switch delivers excellent electrical insulation and structural stability even in harsh environments.

An IP6K7 ingress protection rating ensures resistance against dust ingress and protection during temporary immersion in water, making it ideal for automated systems, factory machinery, process control, and outdoor applications requiring sustained reliability. The operating temperature range stretches from -40°C to 120°C, covering a wide array of industrial, laboratory, and commercial uses where thermal endurance is critical.

The DC subminiature design with compact dimensions (11.65mm height, 20mm width, 6.5mm depth) enables integration into devices with limited space, while its mechanical life exceeds a million actuations, supporting long-term high-frequency switching. The actuator type is a button, optimized for tactile feedback and rapid actuation cycles.

Compliance with RoHS directives affirms suitability for eco-sensitive production processes, and the absence of hazardous area certification indicates primary use in standard industrial and automation settings, not explosion-prone atmospheres.

Use cases span industrial automation panels, automated testing jigs, process instrumentation, robotics, laboratory devices, and commercial appliances requiring dependable micro-level switching. SPDT switching allows signal routing, device enable/disable, or status signal feedback across diverse control architectures.
